Happy Monday!  TN Ready review is well underway!  This week our review focus will be on ecosystems, including habitats, energy transformations in the animal kingdom and biomes.  The padlet we created will be a great study resource!  https://padlet.com/lisareedpreston/5dz047puclms

 

Monday 

Students will participate in a Quizlet Live review game on our review topics.

 

Tuesday

Students will complete a formative assessment to determine their current level of understanding of our ecosystem standards.

 

Wednesday

Students will work with our VSVS visitors!

Thursday

Students will be split into groups and those who need help on the ecosystem standards will complete a small group to increase understanding.  Students who do not have any misconceptions will use this time to learn and practice computer programming. 

 

Friday

Students will complete an engineering challenge and have a final review on our ecosystems standards.

 

As always, assignments are subject to change and I will do my best to communicate those to you.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, thoughts or concerns!

Welcome back!  I hope you had a fabulous break!  We are starting to begin reviewing for TN Ready!  This week our review focus will be on energy, energy transformations, and heat transfer.  A padlet has been created and will be a great study resource!  https://padlet.com/lisareedpreston/5dz047puclms

Monday 

Students will participate in a Kahoot Review game on our review topics.

Tuesday

Students will complete a formative assessment to determine their current level of understanding of our energy standards.

Wednesday

Students will work with our VSVS visitors!

Thursday

Students will be split into groups and those who need help on the energy standards will complete a small group to increase understanding.  Students who do not have any misconceptions will use this time to learn and practice computer programming.

Today we got to watch our meteorology forecasting videos!  I hope to send these via email over the next week!  Also, remember the TN Ready is coming.  I will post a pallet that has a number of study resources, in addition to the study resources already on my website.  

Monday 

Students will watch the weather forecasts they've created.

Tuesday

Students will be introduced to their final new topic: Oceans! Specifically we will be looking at currents, density, and so much more!

Wednesday

Students will have a technology day during which we will be exploring more computer coding and academic game play.

Thursday

Students will be learning more about ocean currents and water density. 

 

Friday

Students will have a half day.
